IT feels like we’ve got ourselves in a bit of a mid-season muddle. If the wheels of our hitherto fantastic season aren’t exactly falling off, the good vibe and momentum of autumn has all but vanished in three winless games in 2017. It feels like time to take stock;...

‘LIVERPOOL Football Club exists to win trophies’. That’s the old adage, first espoused by Bill Shankly back in the 1960s. I completely agree. I also agree with a lot of what Phil Blundell wrote in his piece yesterday. Jürgen Klopp was right to go with a strong line-up...

BY God, we needed that on Wednesday. Up the Spurs. When I got in from work shortly before 8pm, my missus — who for different reasons to me carries the same detailed Liverpool FC fixture list around in her head – expected some tea together, a chat about our...

SUNDERLAND was a tough one. Character required. I wanted nothing more than a nice day under the duvet watching films with my wife before we all went back to work. An alarm that said six something wasn’t exactly what I needed. I got up at 3:30pm after Manchester...

HAS everyone calmed down yet? It was heavy that, wasn’t it? It was always going to be a graft that game. Sunderland away, in the freezing cold, about half an hour after the Manchester City game finished, against a manager who is so negative in everything he does he...

SO it’s finally time for Sadio Mane (GBNF x) to leave us to join up with the Senegalese national team ahead of the 2017 African Cup of Nations. If things weren’t already feeling ominous post-social media head rolling in the aftermath of the 2-2 draw at Sunderland,...

SADIO Mane believes Liverpool will cope fine in his absence as he gets set to jet off to the African Cup of Nations. The Senegalese forward is the Reds’ current top scorer with nine goals — all scored in the league — but will now be away on international...

IT’S hard work this, isn’t it? When I was greeted by family at a New Year’s Eve party after the Manchester City game with the question “did you enjoy that?”, I responded with an emphatic “I’m absolutely knackered”. I said the same after spending a full five minutes...

IT’S beyond ludicrous to be playing two games in less than 48 hours. It was the same for both sides, yes — regardless, it makes no sense whatsoever. Chelsea, on the other hand, have been given an extra two days off. It’s difficult to overstate the...

MASSIVE kick in the nuts that. Massive. But 10 points from 12 over Christmas, you’d take that all day. Anyway, we live in the moment. Loads of lethargy, but playing two games in less than 48 hours is taking the piss. Fitness and sharpness are massively important...
